How did world war 1 affect the position of woman in society

La Primera Guerra Mundial supuso un avance en la incorporación de la mujer al mercado.

Hasta ese momento había estado relegada a tareas domésticas o acompañar a su marido en los distintos actos sociales. Incluso durante el auge de la Revolución Industrial la mujer quedó relegada al cuidado de los hijos y sólo algunas – en la mayoría de los casos solteras –consiguieron entrar en el proceso productivo, pero siempre relegadas y con salarios inferiores al de los hombres.

La guerra supuso un cambio: por un lado, el reclutamiento de gran parte de la población masculina para acudir al frente, y, por otro, las necesidades industriales derivadas del conflicto bélico, atrajeron a las mujeres al campo laboral.  

La Primera Guerra Mundial crea nuevos papeles para la mujer asumiendo trabajos y responsabilidades en los que antes habían estado excluidas: así, por ejemplo, las féminas que trabajaban en el sector bancario creció de unas iniciales 9.500 a casi  64.000.

La incorporación de la mujer al mercado laboral alcanza unas cifras nunca vistas hasta el momento. Además, asumen trabajos tan dispares como como deshollinadoras, conductoras de camiones u obreras en la industria armamentística. Así entre Francia y Gran Bretaña más de un millón y medio de mujeres trabajaron en fábricas de armamento; mientras en Alemania el 38% de la fábrica bélica Krupp estaba compuesto  por mujeres en 1918.

Uno de los hándicaps que se encontraron las mujeres fue lógicamente la resistencia de los hombres que permanecían en las fábricas. Éstos no aceptaban de buen grado que las mujeres pudieran desempeñar con la misma efectividad algunos de sus puestos laborales. Otra preocupación que tenían es si la disminución del salario con las mujeres podía finalmente perjudicarles. Son, sin embargo, las mujeres las primeras que se movilizan pidiendo una igualación salarial por ley para evitar esta discriminación.

El gobierno francés fue de los primeros que abordó el tema: así en 1915 establece un salario mínimo para las mujeres que trabajaban en la industria textil cosiendo una ingente cantidad de uniformes militares. Posteriormente en 1917 decreta que hombres y mujeres ganen lo mismo por pieza trabajada. Aun así, pese a la intervención gubernamental, al final de la guerra la desigualdad sigue existiendo.

To what extent were the ideals of the American Revolution realized in the first 100 years?​
AlexFokin [52]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The ideals of the American Revolution were partially realized in the first 100 years due to many significant events and situations.

After the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, the colonies had to win the Revolutionary War and signed the Treaty of Paris to formally end the war against England. The United States lived a period of constant changes trying to establish its new form of government, as was the case of the Articles of Confederation and years later, the Constitutional Convention to create a new Constitution. There were other Wars such as the War of 1812, or the permanent confrontations with the Native American Indians, the issue of slavery until the division of the country between the Union and the Confederates in the Civil War.

So, some Americans could live the rights stated in the Constitution and could prosper, but many others suffered difficult conditions, had to move to different places and lived under different adverse conditions at the time the Constitution was amended.
